Our "local" Sinclair TV station is off the air. Quarantined for two weeks for positive staff.
They have actually been fairly responsible lately, but not at first. Two days before Trump finally declared the national emergency, they had put a viewer letter on screen and read it. It had it all, just the flu and so on.
I bitched about on FB and got some crap from RWer's. They went on about how any viewer can voice their opinion. Fine. But they rarely do that with viewer emails. Someone wanted that message put out. I went to school with their weatherman/ newscaster. He would have been in favor of that. They may have been directed by Sinclair to air any emails pushing Trump's bullshit.
